# Backlink Monitor: Track New, Lost & Broken Links

Get a clear snapshot of the backlinks flowing to any domain — what's new, what's gone, and what's broken. Spot link rot before it quietly drags down your search rankings.

## Who it's for

- SEOs guarding hard-won link equity  
- Marketers tracking a link-building campaign  
- Owners auditing a competitor's link profile

## What you get

- Live backlink and referring-domain counts at a glance  
- Broken backlinks and a count of broken pages to fix  
- A 12-month new-vs-lost trendline to see momentum or decline  
- The 100 newest backlinks, each with its first-seen date  
- The 100 most recently lost backlinks, each with its last-seen date  
- Anchor text plus dofollow / nofollow status for every link

## How it works

1. Enter any domain you want to monitor  
2. We pull its current and historical link profile  
3. Review new, lost, and broken links with the trendline

## Sample insight

A cluster of high-value editorial links lost their last-seen dates in the same recent window — a sign the linking pages were removed or redirected, and worth a quick outreach to recover them.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can I run this on a competitor's domain?**  
Yes. Enter any domain and you'll see its new, lost, and broken backlinks plus the 12-month trend — useful for benchmarking against rivals.

**What does the broken backlinks count tell me?**  
It flags inbound links pointing to pages that no longer resolve, so you can redirect or restore those pages and reclaim the link value.

**How far back does the trend go?**  
The report charts new versus lost backlinks across the trailing 12 months so you can see whether your profile is growing or eroding.

**How is this billed?**  
It's credit-based — one credit per run — so you only spend when you actually pull a report.
